Across the river in Jersey
Alright, so this is what you're gonna do
And y'all look pretty good in ya frocks
Blow us all away [1]
Blow us all away [2]
But what if he decides to shoot? Then I'm a goner
Come back home when you're done
Confer with your men
Count to ten!
Did you friends attempy to negotiate a peace?
Everything is legal in New Jersey
Father
Five, six, seven-
George! [1]
George! [2]
God, you're a fox
Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder
Grab your pistol
He disparaged my father's legacy in front of a crowd
He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks cease
He was goin' to see a play
How 'bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?
I am a poet
I came to ask you for advice, this is my very first duel
I can't have that, I'm making my father proud
I didn't say anything that wasn't true
I doubt you would have let it slide, and I was not about to
I know where to find you, piss off
I prob'ly shouldn't brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish
I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks
I shoulder his legacy with pride, I used to hear him say
I'd rather skip the pleasantries
I'm a little nervous, but I can't show it
I'm not your little schoolboy friends
I'm only 19 but my mind is older
I'm sory, I'm a Hamilton with pride
I'm watchin' this show now
It's like that?
Ladies, I'm looking for a Mr. George Eacker
Let 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Let's go
Made a speech last night, our Fourth of July speaker
Meet the latest graduate of King's College
Mister Eacker! How was the rest or your show?
My name is Philip
No! He'll follow suit if he's truly a man of honor
Okay!
Okay, I promise
One, two, three, four
Ooh!
Philip, your mother can't take another heartbreak
Pops, if you had only heard the shit he said about you
Promise me, you don't want this
See you on the dueling ground
Shh
Shh! I'm tryin' to watch the show!
Slow down
Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you
Summon all the courage you require
Take my guns, be smart, make me proud, son
Talked about my father though
That is, unless you wanna step outside and go now
That someday, I would-
The duel will commence after we count to ten
The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops
Then slowly and clearly, aim your gun towards the sky
They don't exactly cover this subject in boarding school
This will put an end to the whole affair
To take someone's life, that is something you can't shake
Well, I'll go visit his box
When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air
Where is this happening?
Ya shoulda watched your mouth before you
Yeah, I don't fool around
You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide
Young man's blood on your conscience
Your father's a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you
